Description
The ESL 572NS smoke detector must be used as part of a
wireless system and requires a transmitter.
The detector provides the following features:
CleanMe Self-diagnostics monitors its own sensitivity and
operational status. If the detector drifts out of the UL listed
sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics, it extinguishes
its LED and sends a trouble signal to the control panel.
Tamper switch sends a trouble signal to the control panel
when the detector is removed from its mounting base.
Transmitted Signal Outputs
Once a wireless transmitter is installed, the detector can
transmit the following signals to the control panel:
• Al ar m • CleanMe
• Alarm restore • Maintenance alert
• Low battery • Tamper

Installation Guidelines
Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of
smoke detectors. This equipment should be installed in
accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s
(NFP A) S tandard 72, Chapters 2 and 8. Depending on the
application, you may need to reference other chapters of
NFP A 72 or NFP A 101.
Since regulations pertaining to smoke detector installation vary
from state to state, contact the authority having jurisdiction
(AHJ). Where public safety is primary , the AHJ may be a
federal, state, local, or other regional department or individual
such as a fire chief, fire marshal, chief of a fire prevention
bureau, labor or health department, building official, electrical
inspector, or others having statutory authority. For insurance
purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating bureau,
or other insurance company representative may be the AHJ. In
some cases, the property owner or their designated agent
assumes the role of the AHJ. At government installations, the
commanding officer or department official may be the AHJ.
General Guidelines
• Locate the detector in evironmentally controlled areas
where the temperature range is between 40° and 100° F
(4.4° and 37.8° C) and the humidity is between 0 and 90%
noncondensing.
• Locate detectors away from ventilation sources that can
prevent smoke from reaching the detector.
• Locate ceiling mounted detectors in the center of the room
or hallway, at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any walls or
partitions.
• Locate wall mounted detectors so the top of the detector
is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm) below the ceiling.
• In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate
detectors 3 feet (.9 meters) down or away from the highest
point of the ceiling.
• When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be
secured with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile
removal.

NFPA Guidelines
NFPA 72, 2-1.4.2.1 Total (Complete) Coverage. If required,
total coverage shall include all rooms, halls, storage areas,
basements, attics, lofts, spaces above suspended ceilings, and
other subdivisions and accessible spaces; and the inside of all
closets, elevator shafts, enclosed stairways, dumbwaiter
shafts, and chutes. Inaccessible areas shall not be required to
be protected by detectors. (For exceptions, refer to this section
of NFP A 72.)
NFPA 72, 2-1.4.2.2 Partial Coverage. If required, partial
detection systems shall be provided in all common areas and
work spaces, such as corridors, lobbies, storage rooms,
equipment rooms, and other tenantless spaces in those
environments suitable for proper detector operation in accordance with this code.
NFPA 72, 2-1.4.2.3 Selective Coverage. Where codes,
standards, laws, or authorities having jurisdiction require the
protection of selected areas only, the specified areas shall be
protected in accordance with this code.
NFPA 72, 2-1.4.2.4 Supplementary (Non required) Coverage.
Where installed, detection that is not required by an applicable
law, code, or standard, whether total (complete), partial, or
selective coverage, shall conform to the requirements of this
code. (For exceptions, refer to NFP A 72 Chapter 2 Spacing
Requirements.)
NFPA 72, 2-1.4.3 Where non required detection devices are
installed for a specific hazard, additional non required
NFPA 72, 8-1.4.1.4.2 Detection in Existing Apartment
Buildings Approved, single-station smoke alarms shall be
installed in accordance with 7-6.2.10 of NFP A 101 outside
E l e v a t o r
every sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on all levels of the dwelling unit including basements.
(101: 19-3.4.4.1) (For exceptions, refer to this section of NFP A
72.)
Locations to A void
Do not install smoke alarms/detectors:
• in or near areas where combustion particles are normally
present such as in kitchens, garages, near furnaces, hot
water heaters, or gas space heaters.
• on the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is no
transom between the kitchen and such rooms.
• in damp or very humid areas or next to bathrooms with
showers. Locate detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away
from bathrooms.
• in very cold or very hot areas.
• in dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas.
• near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas.
Heating/air conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air intakes
can drive smoke away from smoke alarms/detectors.
• in dead air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or in
corners where walls and ceiling meet. Dead air may
prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm/detector.
• near fluorescent light fixtures. Locate smoke alarms/
detectors at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from these
fixtures.
Installing the Detector
1 . Slide the battery compartment cover away from the detector
to unsnap it and lift it off. See Figure 3.
2 . Observing proper polarity, insert two 3V lithium batteries into
the detector battery compartment and replace the battery
compartment cover.
3. Locate and record the seven digit ID address from the
transmitter and program it into the RF gateway receiver and
control panel. See the control panel programming guide.
4. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the detector. The
detector is shipped with a dust cover for protection on
construction sites with dusty environments.
5. If applicable, disconnect the alarm notification appliances,
service release devices and extinguishing systems and test the
